Jason: We're just admiring your project, Jim.
Jim Daley: Jas', saving Venice is damned important. I made up a big stack of blues for that. Do you see those god-damned Arabs? If you don't let them in the front door, they buy the joint and change the locks.Sheiks, you remember? We used to buy them in drugstores, little foil packets, one size fits all. Well now, sheiks are giving us the shaft. Sons of bitches own half the world and got an option on the rest. Us white folks are outnumbered, Jas'. The only thing holding those towel-heads back is respect for our brain power. Ha-ha, now... what happens to that respect, when they see this?

Jason: I still don't understand, Jim.
Jim Daley: Venice, Jas! Legendary Venice. Green slime from its polluted canals is creeping over its buildings. I mean, some day the whole fucking city is gonna slide into the sea. It is the symbol of our decay. It's like asking them to come on in and take over.
Jim Daley: Did, er, Clara say anything to you about me?
Jason: She said she was doing an interview. Ehm, in, in-depth was how she put it.
Jim Daley: Huh?
Jason: In-depth.
Jim Daley: She didn't say anything personal?
Jason: Personal, Jim? Oh, of course not.
Jim Daley: Well, if she does. Don't listen to her. She's a radical of some kind. You know those left wing bitches - they don't make love, they take notes and if you're not as hard as rock, you're the lead article in some pinko magazine.
